Textile Macroelectronics: Architecting Sensate and Computational Fabrics across Scales by Wicaksono, Irmandy

“…In this dissertation, I propose a ubiquitous computational textile framework—a synergy between functional device selection, textile structures, fabrication tools, and system architecture—that integrates a distributed network of sensing and computational elements as primitives or raw materials in the manufacturing process of electronic textile products. In the first part of the dissertation, I present several methods, artifacts, and implementations of sensate textiles using functional fibers and digital machine knitting. …”

Amplifying signals in the tumor microenvironment for drug development and diagnostics by Martin Alonso, Maria Carmen

“…Leveraging advancements in high throughput screening and in deep learning, we contribute important tools for the effective design of conditional drugs that require the cleavage of a protease substrate to unleash drug cytotoxicity. In Part II, we address challenges in ctDNA detection by introducing liquid biopsy priming agents - DNA-binding proteins and nanoparticles - that transiently attenuate endogenous ctDNA clearance routes. …”

Light-activated, bioadhesive, poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) brush coatings by Wang, Jian, Karami, Peyman, Ataman, Nariye Cavusoglu, Pioletti, Dominique P., Steele, Terry W. J., Klok, Harm-Anton

“…Both of these films, colloquially referred to as polymer brushes, have been prepared using surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA). In the first part of this study, it is shown that direct UV-light irradiation of PHEMA brushes generates tissue-reactive aldehyde groups and facilitates adhesion to meniscus tissue. …”
